What your department type means for your Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria report
These notes are general guidance by discipline, matched to the departments listed for Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. They are not Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria rules; your supervisor’s and department’s instructions always take priority.
Health and medical sciences
19 departments listed: Clinical Pharmacology, Medical Biology, Medical Laboratory Sciences, Nursing Sciences and others.
Health-related departments often work under clinical or community placement arrangements of their own and follow a structured health-research format, with ethical approval where human participants are involved. Ask your department what applies to your programme.

Natural and physical sciences
15 departments listed: Actuarial Science & Insurance, Plant Science, Chemical Pathology, Library and Information Science and others.
Science projects are usually laboratory, field or survey studies that report methods, results tables and statistics. Formulas, units and species names need careful formatting, and the results chapter must match what your methodology says you did.
APA is common in many science departments, but some follow another style, so confirm yours. Related reading: formatting chemical formulas and species names and choosing a statistical test.
Arts, humanities and law
12 departments listed: African Languages and Culture, Arabic, Archaeology, English and others.
Arts, humanities and law projects tend to be text-based, analytical or doctrinal, built on sources, cases or texts rather than measured data. The literature review often carries more of the argument than it does in a laboratory project.
Styles vary widely here: some departments use APA, others MLA or Chicago, and some law departments use OSCOLA. Confirm yours. Related reading: how to write the literature review and how to write the references list.
Management and social sciences
12 departments listed: Accounting, Banking and Finance, Business Administration, Economics and others.
Projects in these departments are usually survey-based studies, so the questionnaire, the sample size and the choice of statistical test become the parts supervisors examine most closely.
APA is the most common style in management and social science departments. Related reading: the accounting and business SIWES report guide and how to design a questionnaire.
